    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    so the first time I tried slugs I spent a whole bunch of $ and got like 2-300 of every size and brand I could get my hands on, and never really knew what I was doing. I basically ran out of each ammo before I learned how to do it and gave up because pellets were so easy/accurate to 100 yards...

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    Ok I’ll leave the slug power kit out for now, I’ll start out around 120 bar and go up by 5 at a time or so. Just gotta wait on a bunch of slugs to come in so I can start trying, I’ll prolly just order like 6-800 of one and test it then try the other if it’s not good. It takes so much Ammo to...

    FX Do I need a slug power kit?

    Hey guys I’m looking to try tuning my 700mm impact m3 in .25 cal for slugs again (tried before but never could get anything to shoot better than 1” at 50 yards). I was just thinking before I rip the gun apart and put the heavy hammer slug kit back in it is there any certain weight of slug that I...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    Well I got out again finally, supposed to rain 60mm this weekend so glad I did. I got it down to both the slugs and pellets doing 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards. I had to up the reg 10 bar higher to 114bar and just played with the micro adjuster and shooting at 920 FPS it was back to those nicer...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    Well I got out to test it some more and I was between 1.5 and 3 inch groups at 50 yards couldn’t get any better. So I figured I’ll try tune the 33.95 pellets instead, I played around and got the std dev down to 3.4 over 44 shots. It pretty much shoots 1/2” or better at 50 and I had a few 1”...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    NYmike I’m using a 700mm barrel sorry didn’t mention that before. And TDK I like the “Canada angle” at 90% if it keeps the gun quiet then that’s what I’m going to aim for and see how it works out. Im hoping to get out tomorrow to keep working at it but we’ll see when I get finished up at work If...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    Yea I wasn’t getting anymore speed increase past 6 with a max of 960 so I just stopped there with the reg and went down on the hammer and I closed the valve .5 turns then I brought the speed back up till it maxed out with the hammer around 935. Then I brought the macro down a few clicks and just...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    Ok so I managed to get out for 30 min before it started to rain. I swapped out my 2nd reg gauge with the Digital that just came in, my pressure was 115 when showing 100 before so it was out a bit. Today I started at 100 bar and was shooting at like 980 fps on micro 7, macro 6, and valve open to...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    TDK thank you, this info is going to help me a lot, I can really grasp what your explaining and I think I have my head wrapped around it a bit better. I really didn’t realize this part that you explained: TDK : “Where the micro adjuster indicator is pointing at any time is how much hammer...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    Unfortunately I didn’t get out today got called into work, next day off I have I’m gonna go try it out. I really hope it works if not FX Technicians said send it on in so I’ll do that and surely after that it’ll work. But when I go out I’ll spend a day trying, I've got 3 boxes of ammo left so...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    Ok I’ll give that a try! So far every time I try tune everyone says start with their power wheel and adjuster knob at max with valve wide open, then was increasing reg pressure to get a little faster Then try tune it down but I really had next to no changes trying to go down till on the last few...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    I looked again and yea all the parts from the kit are out Except I left the slug probe in not thinking it has anything to do with the power really. my front valve was at 5.5 bars open to start and has the stronger spring in it, it didn’t have any affect until screwed in to about 4 bar line, then...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    Yes I’ve read that thread and I’ve tried to get within 95% of max but when I open everything up and increase reg pressure to the max I want I go to the hammer wheel and each click doesn’t change anything, same as the micro wheel doesn’t do anything. Only thing that changes speeds is the valve...

    Tuning What am I doing wrong? M3 .25

    I have reached out to yous before and all I got was what the factory settings should be and told not to go over 90-95 bar, but EVERYONE else said I was too low on pressure so I don’t know what to believe. All the YouTube videos people are at like 135-170 bar for the heavy slugs but I’m getting...

    Tuning Is my Impact m3 powered out?

    Ok so all I had to do was crank the reg up, yes I’m on dual transfer port..I got it shooting at 1000 FPS on max hammer settings eventually, and was able to test it down to 900 for best spot, it liked around 960 with .75”-1” groups at 50 yards which is good but not not good enough for long range...

    Ok so all i had To do was crank my reg up to 160 bar to get it to all work proper. So I went out today and played around some more once everything settled I was shooting at like 980 FPS on power wheel 4 so I had to turn the reg down a bit so I can play with multiple grains on same settings. I...

    Tuning Is my Impact m3 powered out?

    Ok so I had to go test it out, I went and put my first reg to 170 it creeps up to 190 over time, the second reg is at 160, power wheel 1 was 698fps, power wheel 16 was 972 FPS. So that was what I had to do, but that wasn’t the best part yet. The best part is the sound! I live in Canada so no...

    Tuning Is my Impact m3 powered out?

    I don’t know how I can have too much hammer I had it all the way down to 1 and It didn’t change anything. But I will try increasing the pressure tomorrow maybe up to 150 or 160 but as I get higher I notice it’s not as consistent bc the first reg starts to creep a lot more if I go over 150, like...
